Cosmic neutrino sources: Optimization strategies for P-ONE (M08)

• Subject Area: Nuclear and Elementary Particle Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Relativity, Fields ; Astrophysics and Astronomy
• Term: since 2021
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 283604770

High-energy neutrinos are one of the keys to exploring extreme phenomena like cosmic accelerators, black holes, and the fundamental workings of our Universe. While the IceCube neutrino observatory marked a milestone in discovering TeV to PeV cosmic neutrinos and opened up new questions about their origins, a new era of neutrino experiments is essential to address these questions. This project focuses on defining the Pacific Ocean Neutrino Experiment (P-ONE) design, optimizing its geometry, and maximizing the scientific return.
